American Comics: Starting with Muggle Wizards

"Bang bang bang!"

There was another knock on the door.

"Steve? Are you in there?"

An anxious female voice came from outside.

Harvey sped up his escape, first opening a portal to the villa.

Then he cast a levitation spell on the fallen Steve, and hurriedly walked into the portal with the "loot" that was floating behind him.

It was only a few seconds after Harvey left.

The apartment door was kicked open with a loud "bang!"

Sharon Carter burst through the door, brandishing a black Sig Sauer P226 pistol, and warily scanned the room.

But they found the room was empty.

"Impossible, Steve is missing?"

Sharon Carter is a beautiful agent sent by Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., to work alongside Steve Rogers and monitor the captain.

But now the person being monitored has mysteriously disappeared?

She quickly took out her radio and contacted the special agents around the apartment building.

"Number One, Number Two, please reply. Have you seen the target leave the apartment building?"

"No, sir!"

"Damn it! The target has disappeared! Quickly pull up the security footage from the room; I need to know where Steve is right now!"

"clear!"

Just as Sharon Carter was frantically searching for Captain America's whereabouts.

Harvey has brought Steve back to the villa.

In the living room, Hermione was on the sofa, engrossed in reading a book titled "The Secrets of Cutting-Edge Dark Magic".

Hearing the familiar buzzing sound of the portal opening, Hermione looked up and was surprised to see Harvey bring back an unconscious man.

"How did you manage to bring a Muggle back?"

Harvey didn't want to explain that he planned to use Captain America as a test subject for research, something that was usually done by dark wizards and was somewhat unethical.

He didn't want his research plans to be ruined by the kind-hearted Hermione.

“Miss Know-It-All, Professor Snape’s words make a lot of sense. Knowing too much is not good for you.”

Hermione's expression turned cold, and she gave a soft snort.

"So you're too lazy to even make up lies now?"

Harvey shook his head, using a levitation spell to transfer Steve to the secret basement in the basement as he explained:

“I’ve always told white lies, so how can you say I made them up?”

"And why have you started reading magic books about dark magic?"

Having long been accustomed to Harvey's shamelessness, Hermione turned her attention back to the book in front of her.

"To deal with Voldemort, you must understand the effects of dark magic and how to defend against it."

"And don't change the subject. Who exactly is this Muggle you brought back?"

Hermione, who was becoming increasingly difficult to fool, insisted on getting to the bottom of things, so Harvey had no choice but to give a straight answer.

"I've recently developed a new kind of potion and I'm planning to test its effects on a Muggle."

Before Hermione could object, Harvey added, "I found this Muggle in prison; he's a prisoner sentenced to death."

"So I brought him back to test the potion's effects, which is also a way of making use of waste."

Hermione was skeptical when she heard this explanation.

"Even if you are a prisoner, you cannot arbitrarily take someone's life. This is a basic respect for life!"

Oh? You dare to lecture me now?

Isn't this a reversal of the Heavenly Gang?

Harvey was genuinely angry.

"This prisoner has committed more than a dozen serious crimes, including robbing armored trucks, kidnapping for ransom, and trafficking and sexually assaulting children. Are you sure you still want to speak up for him?"

Hermione remained silent.

Seeing that she had nothing to say, Harvey gently shook his head and walked into the basement through the villa's secret passage.

The villa's basement has been renovated.

The walls were covered with dark green devil's web vines to keep thieves out.

In the corner, two skeletons leaned against the wall, their empty eye sockets facing directly towards the entrance, looking extremely eerie.

These two skeletons are actually alchemical artifacts created by Harvey, serving a similar purpose to the armored knights in Hogwarts Castle.

It possesses simple intelligence and warning functions.

He made it into the shape of a skeleton simply to be more frightening.

In the center of the laboratory, there is a two-meter-long experimental table with a tin crucible on it that is gurgling and emitting an eerie green mist.

There is also a potion processing station next to it.

The top was covered with all sorts of bottles and jars, with many potion ingredients sealed in transparent glass bottles.

Examples include insects that emit blue fluorescence, mermaid scales, bat spleens soaked in green liquid, and the shed skin of African tree snakes.

Due to the specific growing conditions required for Devil's Web, the entire laboratory environment is dark and damp.

Even the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling emitted a faint blue light.

Harvey waved his wand and used Transfiguration to create a makeshift experimental bed, on which he transferred the unconscious Steve.

Before the research began, Harvey took out a bottle of golden Felix Felicis from the potion storage cabinet.

After drinking two drops.

Harvey felt refreshed and full of confidence for his upcoming research.

He then began to use experimental tools to collect various samples from the experimental subjects, including blood, flesh, and bone marrow.

......

In the dimly lit laboratory, a faint blue light shone on Harvey's face as he focused intently.

This scene looks like some evil wizard is concocting a strange and powerful potion.

Harvey began adding various materials to the crucible on the experimental table, based on his improved version of the ancient potion recipe.

Attempt to concoct a constitution-enhancing potion for the first time.

"The powder of the magic stone is too precious, so I'll just add five grams."

"Then add two petals of sambac, three drops of salamander blood, and one ounce of unicorn blood as a neutralizer."

"Next, add a drop of the test subject's blood, two milliliters of bone marrow fluid, and one-third of a heart extract..."

"Finally, add two pounds of dragon blood, perfect!"

Harvey was very satisfied looking at the crucible filled to the brim with various materials.

The next step is to heat the crucible and stir it continuously.

as time flows.

The various materials in the crucible gradually fused together, bubbling and releasing green bubbles.

But the semi-finished liquid potion in the crucible gradually turned into a dark purple color that made Harvey uneasy.

"Merlin's beard, could it be that the crafting failed?"

Chapter 33 Refining Magic Potions [Please Read On!]

With a mix of hope, reluctance, and a strong desire to avoid wasting the precious potion ingredients, Harvey continued stirring carefully for another 20 minutes.

A strange sense of joy suddenly welled up in his heart.

"It's now!"

At the opportune moment, Harvey stopped heating and stirring.

"It should be successful!"

Harvey smiled broadly as he saw the potion in the cauldron turn red at the last moment.

Next, let it sit for two hours and wait for the potion to cool down naturally.

He turned the hourglass in the corner of the lab bench upside down and started timing.

The long wait was extremely agonizing.

Just half an hour later, Harvey couldn't sit still any longer.

"It must be evening outside, let's go have dinner first."

Harvey had already made plans with Hermione to take her out for a nice meal that evening, and he couldn't very well stand her up.

They cast another stun spell on Steve, whose face was deathly pale, to make sure he wouldn't wake up too soon.

Then, three protective spells were cast on the entire laboratory in succession.

"Safeguarding the town!"

"Expel Muggles!"

"Protect them all!"

Harvey originally wanted to add a Loyalty Charm to ensure that no one would discover his secret laboratory.

But suddenly, the cell phone in my pocket rang with a pleasant ringtone.

Although Harvey is a wizard, he never refuses to use the high technology of the Marvel universe.
